I am there a lot over the summer and can’t get in the mood for them. The only think the Octoberfest being $3.50 for a while was acceptable. The rest are mediocre at best. The building and layout is amazing to. Reminds me of Brooklyn Brewery. > [@ProgRocker](#): > > Going to 716 tonight. Can’t wait to try some new (to me) local brews. I hope CBW has their IPA on tap. CBW is awful. The only thing good about them is their business model and delivering kegs themselves. ---

No way, I love the Whale! The president of CBW used to work at my work, he’s also a certified Cicerone. I don’t get too wrapped up in the parent company, although I do hate Budweiser anything. Here’s my take and here’s how everyone should approach beer. - Do I like the taste of this beer? If yes, drink it and/or buy more. Shouldn’t matter who owns it, what the can looks like, how many ounces, etc. Just enjoy beer. You get some of these crazy guys that sink pour every fucking beer. You can also enjoy cheap beer for what it is. Grab a PBR or a Dog Bite or something like that. ---

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > No way, I love the Whale! The president of CBW used to work at my work, he’s also a certified Cicerone. So because you know someone instantly makes them have good beer? Interesting. I usually go with how it tastes. > [@ProgRocker](#): > > I don’t get too wrapped up in the parent company, although I do hate Budweiser anything. > > Here’s my take and here’s how everyone should approach beer. > > - Do I like the taste of this beer?

You can also enjoy cheap beer for what it is. Grab a PBR or a Dog Bite or something like that. Cheap for me is Blue or Bush and only because I can crush an 18 pack like nothing and play drinking games. I can’t stand PBR mostly because people drink it for the look, not actually because they like it. If the following wasn’t hipsters, it may be more accepted as the go to cheap beer. ---

Lol I think you took my post out of context. I like their beer because it tastes good, I don’t really know Ethan other than the couple times I’ve chatted with him, when he worked here. Blue is a great cheap beer and usually my go to. PBR does have that hipster following, I never really understood it, nor do I care. I think it goes down easy, is cheap and has a decent taste. ---

Did an all-you-can-drink Easter brunch at Karl Strauss brewery today. Put a hurting on some Windansea Wheat, Mosaic Session Ale, and Blackball Belgian IPA. All excellent choices and that Blackball goes down way too easy for an 8.5% ABV lol. Not bad for a family-oriented event and they have a great setup too! ---

I had a hayburner at century grill a while back and thought it was awful. Didn’t even finish it. That is super out of the ordinary for me. had a 4 pack of founders double trouble yesterday, their double ipa. Founders has never steered me wrong before, and this one was exceptional. Probably one of the best double IPAs I’ve ever had. ---
